LESSONS IN MAGIC AND DISASTER

Narrators Sena Bryer, Lisa Flanagan, and Marisa Calin enliven the characters of Jamie, a young witch, and her mother, Serena, along with the text in a mysterious 300-year-old book that weaves through this queer fantasy audiobook. In the present, Jamie, a New England graduate school student who is studying literature and is secretly a witch, has a lot on her plate. She's also teaching her reclusive and grieving mother magic in an attempt to bring her back into the world. But Jamie's best intentions turn into disasters that bring chaos and harm. Listeners will be captivated as each narrator provides glimpses of Jamie's present and Serena's past, interspersed with snippets from the book of magic that Jamie is studying. The narrators keep listeners hoping that Jamie and Serena's powers will bring good things into their lives. B.A.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2025]
